A PAGE OF MADNESS

Teinosuke Kinugasa / JP 1927

60 mins 35mm (@ 24 fps)

 

“A fascinating and unique glimpse of Japanese silent film. Using no

inter-titles to relay his disturbing tale, Kinugasa relies solely on

visual invention - ‘expressionistic’ camera angles, penetrating

close-ups and super-impositions. This startling work of radical invention easily rivals the most advanced avant-garde practices of the West.”
